Owens and Mitchell have broken bones in their feet and will be out for the duration of spring while Holsey is limited and Daniel, Therezie and McKinzy are all “day-to-day.”

McKinzy, who led the team with 75 tackles, with eight for loss including two sacks last season, is moving from outside to middle linebacker. Kris Frost worked at both inside and weak-side linebacker on Thursday.

“Cassanova has been bothered by a bruised bone in his hip and he has not been practicing very much,” Johnson said. “The three days he was healthy and full-speed out there he had some really good practices.”

Mitchell broken his foot during the SEC Championship game but could be a factor in fall camp.

“JaViere, unfortunately, could have benefited from spring ball more than any of them and he broke that bone in his foot in the SEC Championship Game,” Johnson said. “He will not practice this spring, but I certainly feel like he’s still going to be in the picture.”

Daniel, who worked on the side in a T-shirt and shorts during Tuesday’s practice, injured his groin on the first play of spring practice, according to Johnson, but is expected back next week.

Holsey tore his ACL on Oct. 17 and has been limited thus far. He was not in pads on Tuesday but Johnson said the junior to be could play if need be.

“Right now, we could be practicing Holsey, we just erred on the side of caution,” Johnson said. “He's doing some 1-on-1 stuff, maybe out there in a little bit of pass scale, but if we were getting ready to line up and play next week against Arkansas, he'd be ready to go. He's been playing, he's got two years under his belt, one year under our system, we know what he can do, we're just erring on the side of caution with him.”

Therezie said he had “a little tweak” after jamming his hand when “a guy ran through my fingers.” He fielded punts earlier in the week but did not take defensive reps.

“He's out there practicing right now, but it's sort of like Holsey - we know what he can do,” Johnson said. “So we kind of baby him a little bit with the number of reps and the type of drills, to take care of that banged-up hand.”
